Stability Support Fund Program

This program provides one-time financial assistance to help remove barriers that may prevent someone from accessing or maintaining stable housing. The purpose of this support is to address a specific need so individuals can live more safely, comfortably, and independently in their home environment.

A Unique Short-Term Project!
March 15th - June 30th, 2026, or until all funds are exhausted, whichever comes first.

The locations we serve are Salem, West Salem, and Keizer.

Goal

Serve 20 (or more) households within Marion and Polk counties experiencing unsheltered homelessness and have access to rental assistance or housing that is affordable (housing and utility costs do not exceed 50% of the monthly gross household income)

Individuals and Families participating in the Stability Support Fund Program will receive:

  • Flexible barrier removal funds (up to $2500 per household) to address:

    • Rental arrears (past-due rent),

    • Utility arrears (past-due electricity, water, gas),

    • Security deposits,

    • Eviction-related costs,

    • Other one-time costs directly prevent housing stability.
